“Children are happy in the early years. They feel safe, secure and welcome. Relationships between home and school are strong.”
Alongside this, the school received an ‘outstanding’ for the effectiveness of their leadership and management.
Outwood Primary Academy Littleworth Grange was rated ‘good’ across the board the report said: “Leaders provide clear guidance and communicate high expectations to teachers.
“As a result, teaching and learning across the school, including the early years, is good.”
